Been some time since we had such a grade A seme on an Omegaverse story. Rishar is such a g...

You should try reading Turning! I recommend reading the novel

Novel. Novel where, novel who, novel how and most importantly by WHOM

Here is the link to the novel. It's the author's first work and beware it's very plot heavy but absolutely amazing

found it, on it, am amazed, thank you.

You're welcome!

I'm...
Let me just very, very cautiously ask. If. Possibly. Nipolle? Autism? Cause I was just happily vibing along with Yuder like, "yup, can relate" and then Nipolle rolled around and I was like "hold....hold up."
In case that's just my personal conjecture, forget I asked.
otherwise I am team "This IS my surprised face" belongs on a t-shirt

So, like you said, the author doesn't use that word basically because I don't think it (the word) exists there buuuut yeah, I believe so.

The way they wrote it the whole family is part of the spectrum, Nipolle just more so, very blatantly austist. He's a cutie rigth? Everybody dotes on him

I, too, would rather transform into a cat and stay that way

the whole Tain clan's special trait "being fixated on one thing for life" was like uh. Uh. Guys? Their heirs ability being "yo, I can look like someone else and act like them (for a litmited time)" was also very yes.

It was just very...surprising? for me, since I usually neither look for this nor find it (like, both). I was just happily identifying with a character that has trouble connecting to people (yes, the person that needed to lose their head literally to even SEE a need to connect to people), lacks affect in his expression at all time, heavily leans on his analytic abilities, prefers to be on his own and has overall the emotional range of a potato to begin with (and I didn't notice until Nipolle... I just didn't, for reasons)

I got you, I would too. I'm so happy that you can relate to them, like seeing actual representation :')

Your description of Yuder is just *chef kiss*. I do think that his case is a bit different, but especially after the broken bond he fits in really well

How are you liking the story so far???

The plot heavy warning does NOT deter me at all, because there's multiple chekovs gun at play and so far they're fired or in place and that's very satisfactory (for me).

I pretty much like the circling theme in place that Yuder's meant to learn that even though he prefers to be alone and decide and act on his own, the problems arising from OTHER people shrink in comparison to the reward and outcome; and even though it circles, he doesn't start always back at square one (like the usual damsel in distress, who says "learned my lesson", turns around, does the same shit in a different color)

And I am very happy with the flow (like the tension and the pacing, which is not too fast or too slow but picks up pace at the appropriate time and leaves just enough questioning and open questions to pull you forward in the story -- which is why I am reading continuously since then [now at 360+])

If I had to say what counts as Yuders special ability (interest) apart from the very metaphorical resonance with just about everything it would be his fervent focus on developing awakeners abilities whenever he encounters them. He could meet a guy trying to beat the snot out of him and he'd go "not bad, but you could be even BETTER if you'd just..." (with the occasional opponent momentarily losing their shit due to utter bafflement)
The netweaving theme in here (him opening up new paths just by being himself) is very nicely executed.

Yuleman is the adhd chaos gremlin (strongest spell: hyperfocus ACTIVATED)

I was also very fond of "the food exchange", with Yuder answering to Kishiar's question how he could claim the food is "tasty" while having the expression of someone shoveling sand in their mouth. The conclusion was...entertaining (hey, he still hasn't said he likes it.)

Enon as resident hot/cold character (the grumpy immortal meets resurrector) is naturally woven in and not a one-dimensional plot device (which makes me like him more); him munching on lemons, skin and all was like "yes ok, if you spent so long there maybe one would do that for funzies"

Thanks for the rec
